| With this portrait I wanted to experiment with complementary opposites in the palette. The dual opposing lighting-warm magenta on one side and cool green on the other-sculpt the features with vivid contrast to create a surreal, cinematic effect. Where the tones converge, they neutralize into soft, mysterious shades of grey, lending a sense of ambiguity and depth. The overall mood is both ethereal and introspective, blending vibrancy with quiet stillness. |
